Rapier 33 Electric Guitar ~ Artic White
Introducing the stunning new generation Rapier 33 Electric Guitar in Artic White, designed by the UK genius guitar designer Alan Entwistle. This legendary guitar played a major role in the British guitar industry, serving countless up and coming 60’s British Beat groups and launching the careers of many guitarists in the 60's and 70's.
Crafted with meticulous attention to hardware upgrades, construction and playability, the Rapier 33 features a body made of Okoume, a tonewood selected specifically for its natural sonic characteristics. The 4-bolt, soft ‘C’ profiled neck with fully adjustable truss rod is crafted from hard rock Canadian maple, with a 12in radius rosewood fingerboard and 23 medium jumbo frets (including zero fret) for speed, comfort and accuracy.
The exciting new Rapier 33 now features a smooth, friction-free, precision cut 43mm GraphTech Nubone nut, Wilkinson machine heads and high spec’d roller bridge for accurate intonation, tuning stability and perfect return to pitch from the original vibrato design. With a 3 ply scratchplate, immaculate 3 Tone Sunburst finish and new Rapier headstock logo, this guitar looks visually impressive.
Modern upgrades also include pickups, internal wiring and controls which have all experienced Entwistle’s magical touch. A trio of Entwistle low noise EWR64 mini-humbucker pickups, with exceptional tonal response, balanced output and clarity are now installed and, when used in conjunction with the ‘Bass Cut’ switch, delivers that classic and much-loved 60’s jangle.
Get ready to rock and roll with the Rapier 33 Electric Guitar in Artic White, a true masterpiece of design and sound.
